【場景再現】
安迪杜弗倫（Andy Dufresne）沉冤獄中19年，這是他與道貌岸然的典獄長諾頓（Norton）的第一次正面交鋒。諾頓平時總以衛道士的嘴臉自居，私下卻干盡壞事。他風聞安迪入獄前是個銀行家，借查房之名試探安迪，想讓安迪幫他洗黑錢。這段對白中兩次引用圣經原文，場景不同，各有指代。
Norton: Pleased to see you reading this. Any favorite passages?
Andy: "Watch ye, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house cometh."
Norton: Mark 13:35. I've always liked that one. But I prefer "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall have the light of life."
Andy: John, chapter 8, verse 12.
Norton: I hear you're good with numbers. How nice. Man should have a skill…explain this.
Andy: It's called a rock blanket. It's for shaping and polishing rocks. A little hobby of mine.
Norton: It's pretty clean. Some contraband here, but nothing to get in a twist over. …I can't say I approve of this. But I suppose exceptions can be made. …Lock them up! …I almost forgot. I'd hate to deprive you of this. Salvation lies within.
Andy: Yes, sir.
